Veteran relationship coach and clergyman Kingsley Okonkwo has sparked renewed discussion on marriage after sharing a deeply personal moment from his own relationship.
In a candid interview, the senior pastor revealed how his wife fundamentally shaped his understanding of love and emotional connection.
Reflecting on the early days of dating, Okonkwo admitted that he cared for his wife but did not initially express love in the way she needed. Speaking from experience, he shared:
“My wife had to teach me how to love her. When we were dating, if I saw her on a Monday, I wouldn’t call her again until I was seeing her next. She practically told me, ‘See, you have to be calling me. I grew up in a family of 5 boys, the only female in the family was my mom and she is soldier, not an average Nigerian woman, so I didn’t have the emotional stuff.’”
The pastor explained that his upbringing shaped his reserved approach to relationships. Growing up surrounded by brothers and a strong, disciplined mother, he never naturally developed the emotional sensitivity required to understand the needs of a romantic partner.
It took his wife’s guidance to help him navigate love in a way that strengthened their marriage.
Okonkwo’s admission is not only a reflection on his personal growth but also serves as a broader lesson on the importance of communication and emotional learning in relationships.
By acknowledging his flaws and the role his wife played in teaching him, he reinforces that even experts on love must remain humble and teachable.
The story has resonated widely online, with many couples applauding his honesty.
Observers highlight that his experience underscores a simple yet powerful truth: love is a skill that can be learned, nurtured, and refined, especially within the bounds of marriage.
